When the centerpiece of your museum collection is, say, the Magna Carta and the venue where that legendary document will be housed also happens to be the site where George Washington bid farewell to his officers – be sure you partner with a company capable of paying homage to history.
The venerable Fraunces Tavern Museum in New York collaborated with our Ridgway’s division in Houston, TX last week to come up with supportive signage for its “Foundations of Freedom” exhibit – to be built around display of the Magna Carta and other historic items at the museum Sept. 15 through December 15.
For this rare and historic viewing, Ridgway’s developed specialized signage and printed banners for use in the museum’s exhibit rooms. The job included the creation of four 9’x9’ fabric banners, printed and sewn back to back.
The museum wanted someone who cared about how history was presented and we fit the bill. If you have a similar job and would like to talk with someone about it, Contact Us and we’ll be sure to contact you.

Packaging designers at Mattel’s Design Center in El Segundo, CA work against very tight deadlines – something ARC divisions are used to. Mattel designers make their product packaging in house, in order to control costs, and recently one of our divisions asked if we could help speed things along.
Our Blair Reprographics in Southern California asked Mattel for schematics of a proposed project and Mattel came back with a request for mock-up packaging of their “Combat Rock” sonic blaster.
Blair’s color services team printed the job on one of our GT350 flatbed printers and then die-cut the mock-up on a Zund precision cutter, handing the finished product back to Mattel within 48 hours. ARC technology minimized the client’s set-up time, streamlined their production processes, and greatly reduced the time needed for final assembly.

Would you like to transform a cold and boring space into and bright and visually appealing panorama? The H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center did.
The Tampa, FL treatment facility wanted to brighten its treatment rooms and give patients pastoral scenes to “wander through,” instead of having people look at cold and unexciting ceiling tiles.
These “medical murals,” a growing trend among hospitals and doctor’s offices, were produced recently at our division in Orlando and now grace the ceilings of treatment and diagnostic rooms at the center. We ran them off on our 350GT and made the center – and their patients – “very happy.”

First impressions are lasting ones, and our team at A&E Reprographics in Richmond, VA pulled out all the stops for signage promoting the assets of their lovely state that went up recently at Richmond’s International Airport.
The high profile and long-running ‘Virginia Is For Lovers’ campaign captures scenes of local color and gives the hundreds of thousands of people passing through that airport each year their first impressions of the state and its people.
Color Marketing Specialist Karen Tucker, pictured next to one of the attractive and welcoming panels, says they were cut into grids of six squares and applied to visually arresting substrates inviting to the touch.

If you’re looking to bring a little more style and personalization to your next interior design project, you may want to follow the lead of a client who has us print the wallpaper he uses for his most important projects. He says it gives him more control over the finished product, and we can’t argue with that.
This example was printed at Crest Graphics in Farmington, CT, and it and others like it currently grace some of the region’s most impressive homes. Crest turns out paper and canvas prints for their client on their Solvent Océ 6060 printer and the designer enhances the finished product as needed – installing the printed panels himself.
We can produce work based on the artist’s designs on both paper and canvas. Production, depending on shop workload, is about three to four days. If you have some similar work you’d like to have done, Contact Us and we’ll be sure to contact you.
